Abstract
The ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider started its p-p data taking at the end of 2009. The availability of the first low luminosity collisions at √s = 900 GeV and √s = 2.36TeV allowed to improve and extend the calibration and alignment procedures, started with cosmic rays in 2008. Together with the final commissioning of the detector with real data, the collected data sample of p-p collisions is presently being used to carry out the early physics studies, aimed at assessing the global characteristics of the interaction. In particular, results on the pseudorapidity density of primary charged particle in the central region are discussed here. They were obtained using the two innermost Silicon Pixel layers of the Inner Tracking System, which provided both the primary vertex position and the charged multiplicity, by matching the reconstructed points on the two layers.
